whoa! That shot rocks. Reminds me of the kind of images we used to see in Surfer or Surfing magazine in 1973/74 when that was the only fuel for us kids pioneering the skateboard craze in Brighton. I started surfing in 78 on a red Lightning bolt single fin, when the HotPipe in Shoreham had to be accessed via the port authority access road and the bumholes break still existed in those days. You could park right on the road, Carats Cafe only had surfers as customers on a Sunday (about 8 of us) and port workers and surfers during the week and no one tried to rip off the contents of your car. Mark Baker was ripping up the bowls and had also become an accomplished windsurfer and Jock was making a name for himself. I have had a 5 year lay-off bringing up kids and bought a new 9' 4" retro longboard 2 weeks ago.....it's been flat ever since!! somethings never change.

Soooo fine. Thanks VP. Whatever Sqirl has to say now is irrelevant. If this isn't a persuasive argument for genetic engineering...I don't know what is...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59YKlP--PhU&feature=related

Kinda ironic YOU complainin' about being deleted, huh Sqirl. I'd like to think my fellow old-school Barbados surfing veteran & excellent surf photog 3rd World was just correcting an...'injustice'...you varmint!...Oh crap!...This is a Sqirl thread. Will I NEVER learn?;^)

The greatest Brit who ever lived(imho)...Charles Darwin...married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood...and they had children. You'd think if anyone should have known better, it would have been him. But understanding of genetics...and the dangers of small gene pools...didn't come 'till later(after Mendel)...inspired by Darwin's work on natural and artificial selection. Ironic, huh?

I want that board!!!! been toying with the idea of getting a classic single fin but went for a Firewire Dom ...a couple of weeks ago ...now I am looking at this I am regretting that !!! whaooooo ride that thing ....

wooohoooo.....76 was a helluva groovy year!.....the age of aquarious man!! .....and somewhere in a backwoods redneck honkey tonk a 12 pack of pabst blue ribbon and a fat doobie were busy loosening the virtues of a simple country girl, that would later conceive a sqirl!!

http://magicseaweed.com/photoLab/viewPhoto.php?photoId=87382 ......yeah thats right byatch.....i went there!....and you know how i got there!!.....went to your page....then muenklerrrs page.....then straight to his favourites!

VP you live on an island that you can drive across in a day and you are going to tell me u dont have aunty/sister and unkle cousins in your fmily tree.....u do know those munked up teeth come from jumping into gene pools that are to shallow.....right?............HYPOCRITE!

...Age of Aquarius was in the 60s Squirl....I still surfed a single fin Stinger in the 77 SA Varsity's at Seal Point Cape St Francis and got barreled over Full Stop rock....aaaahhhhh memories.............

I'll say...I had a dashiki...so I could be down with my African brothers...purchased in Barbados in 1972 during a 2 month surfing safari/escape from the annoying TV coverage of the Republican National Convention in Miami that summer(Fortunately for me, the Bathsheba neighborhood vendors/residents could still pick up the 'Andy of Mayberry'(Andy Griffith)show...with Barney Fife, Opey and Aunt Bea...on their outdoor TV sets.;^)...Oh yeah...Nixon got re-nominated...and re-elected...as President of the USA...which kinda sucked for Cambodia. Google secret bombing of...or Khmer Rouge...if you must...Don't blame me. I voted for the other guy. You kids really missed out on huaraches(Mexican style leather sandals)too, probably...Soooo stylish, comfortable and durable. Picked them up IN Mexico the following year on another summer surfing safari...Florida to San Blas, Mexico and back in my stylish 1970 VW campervan(Never again!!!). The piece de resistance of my 70's stylin'(other than my rad surfin' of course)was probably my off-white polyester leisure suit...with flared(NOT bell-bottomed!)pants. My mother bought it...and I was embarrased to wear it...fearing that pics of me wearing it might someday come back to haunt me.
